Part of the EMAP - Reports project

Author(s): Michelle Hegmon; Margaret C. Nelson

Year: 1994

Summary

This document is a report on archaeological research conducted on the Ladder Ranch under the direction of Drs. Margaret Nelson and Michelle Hegmon. Emphasis is on the work conducted during the summer of 1994, though we also discuss analyses of 1993 materials done after the 1993 report was completed and plans for further technical analysis. This document serves as an interim report of our activities supported by the two-year (1994-1995) grant from the Turner Foundation.

This report is structured similarly to the EMAP 1993 report. That is, it has been prepared for reading at various levels of detail. The introduction, which briefly describes the fieldwork and research findings, stands alone as a summary of the entire document. More detail is available in the seven sections that comprise the main body of the report. These include: Prehistory of the Ladder Ranch (p. 3), summary report on Las Animas Village (p. 7), Summary report on two Palomas sites (p. 10), The Dynamics of Change (p. 16), Testing Ideas about Change: Dating Change (p. 19) and Ceramic Analysis (p. 20), Conclusions (p. 21), Acknowledgements (p. 22).
